national / racism & migration related issues / opinion/analysis Wednesday September 27, 2006 11:46 by Kimmage Red
In another vainglorious attempt to misuse electronics to exclude, the newly-erected Tánaiste intends to make it an offence of the State to be a non-EU national without good reason to be in Ireland. Non-EU nationals, including one might assume North Americans, New Zealanders and those sexy Brazilian dancers - you know, good migrants? - will be asked to prove that they have good reason to be shopping in Carroll's O'Connell Bridge. In other words, the burden of proof that one is not a ‘foreign national’ lies on the individual. read full story / add a comment

Last week 2 officers of the French police force were attacked while doing thier rounds in one of the sink estates that adorn every urban centre in that country. Nothing strange in that you may say. They dress like soldiers these days because they're used to being attacked. But Sarkozy saw his opportunity to highlight like no other can - the difference a poor unfashionable neighbourhood enjoys in "comunity policing". Yesterday afternoon a force of at least 200 riot police "surgically extracted" 12 teenage suspects from the Corbeil-Essonnes / Tarterets housing estate of Paris. Somewhere buses don't go coz they were all burned last year. read full story / add a comment

I wonder am I alone in thinking, when presented with a collective picture of career politicians smiling on the steps of the Dail, that the elected members of that house might have difficulty finding their arse with both hands.

Perhaps the two most feared words in the English language today are “suicide bomber”; the propaganda machine in the west ensures that these two words continue to strike fear and terror into the hearts of the civilian population. Circumstances occasionally present all of us with unusual opportunities. When a young man who claimed the above distinction wished to make known his story it would have been a dereliction of my profession to refuse the request. The public interest is not served unless both sides of a story are made available. read full story / add a comment
